“The Value of Wisdom”
“My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
…………………………………………..
So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness.
For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it;
But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.”

How it Starts: Seeking Divine Guidance
Our process begins with a heartfelt prayer, where we as a family open ourselves to Divine wisdom and inspiration. In this sacred pause, we invite God to guide our hands and hearts, aligning our intentions with something greater than ourselves. This act of prayer is more than a ritual—it is the foundation of our creative journey, setting a tone of reverence, focus, and clarity. It ensures that every stroke, color, and detail that follows is infused with deeper meaning and purpose, elevating the work from mere creation to a spiritual expression of wisdom and Divine beauty.
